Not sure what to say?

Dear Gwen and Kathy,

My heart is with you at this tender time. I know your memories will be of comfort to you. Your father was a fine man, and handsome too! Remember how as children we looked at those two brothers? Your Dad looked like Clark Gable and my Dad looked like Jeff Chandler!

Over the years it has meant so much that I had such a neat Uncle John who remembered me.

Love,
June

Gwen,
I am deeply sorry to hear about
your father passing away. I never
met him, but I remember you speaking of him.
It is always a very sad time when a parent is lost.
Please accept our deepest condolences.

Dear Gwen and Mike,
I'm so sorry to hear of your dad's death - I always enjoyed hearing the interesting stores about his life and late-in-life driving adventures across the country. I'm sure you have many loving memories and yes, you are fortunate to have had him with you for so many years. My love and prayers are with you,
Janet

Your Dad had a full rich life surrounded by the love of his family and friends. He will be missed. Love, Hannah

To the family of John Hancock,
I first met John at Wright Field Ohio in about 1947 or48, we were both assigned to the old Aerial Recon Lab, working for Col George Goddard. We met again in Aurora, Co, where John, Ben Fagen, Myself, and a few others from the old recon lab met and had lunch on a Random basis. I am very sorry to hear of John's passing. He was the epitome of an officer and a gentlemen.

Dear Gwen, Mike, and other family members of Mr. Hancock. I was saddened to hear of the death of your father. I met him only once at Mike & Gwen's wedding, and remember what a nice, handsome man he was! I will be praying for you and your family during this sad time.
Love you,
Jackie Hails

We always loved our visits with John especially in Minnesota and Colorado.

Dear Gwen and Mike, Kathy and John. I shall always remember the wonderful time that I had in Colorado when I visited with Gwen and her parents. Your dad was so thoughtful and concerned about our every need. I am thinking of you in this sad time but remembering a much happier time.
